A member asked:
Does the antibiotic keflex affect birth control pills? specifically trisprintec?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keflex should be ok: The current thinking is that except for rifampin, other commonly-used antibiotics (such as Keflex and many others) do not alter the effectiveness of birth control pills. This is likely presuming a person is not sick with vomiting or rapid diarrhea, or some other condition that decreases the absorption of a swallowed pill. One can look up: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12063491
